MMS Problems

I was finding older posts on MMS problems wanted to find help for the ending 2012 year.
I was using Reloaded ROM for a while and pictures where being sent and received, no problems.
The Backstory
One contact would send a MMS no text just the picture and my phone would received it but would not download.
I tested with friends in state and out of state to make sure it was not on my end. Their pictures arrived and downloaded as normal so I blew it off as just this one contact's service.
Past weekend, MMS were received but not downloaded to the point that I would send one to myself it would say sent, but never received period.
Road to recovery.
Starting fresh.
Unrooted, currently on
Android 2.2
Baseband
2.15.00.11.19
::The Goal::
Pictures sent by myself to myself; and by others to me are sent, received, and downloaded successfully. :good:
Rootcheck app says I'm not rooted. :crying:
No firmware to be updated.
Profile updated
PRL update.
HTC update "4.24.651.1" I'll download it

Sprints been having a lot of issues with SMS /MMS lately. I believe part of the issue has to do with the Hurricane on the East Coast knocking out a bunch of towers. Then Sprint having to reroute a lot of services. You could call Sprint and have them Reset your Data. Just make sure your on Sense Rom, with working ESPT when you call them.

This won't help you get the messages back, but Google Voice works really well if you have it installed. Even if you don't use it for messages, it will store all of them on your account and recover them when you sign in on a new rom

Using APN backup and restore may help as well.

SOLVED!!!! S3 Text Message Issues

So I looked through the forums and didn't see the problem I am having. I am using GoSMSPro on my rooted S3 and when I text one of my friends who is using ATT I get her replies from a totally different number. I wasn't sure who it was at first so I texted the number back and a different lady replied saying she didn't text me. Long story short I have already been to a Sprint store with no luck, but now when i text my friend not only are the replies coming in from a different number but my texts to her are showing a number that's not mine. Any ideas as to what is going on?? Thanks in advance.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
I would suggest going back to unrooted stock jellybean and see if the problem exist.
If it does it's either Sprints problem or a ATT issue.
Does it happen with all numbers or just 1 person?

No only happens with this one number... I text a 215 number and get a reply from a 267 number, I am texting from a 618 number but it shows as a 801 number.....

Did you try using the stock messaging app to see if it's not an app issue? It sounds like a network issue, however

Tried using the stock messaging app this weekend and still got the same weird numbers

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
Try un installing the Gosms app. Then wipe data on your stock messaging app (make sure you use some back up app to save any messages you need to save) then reboot the phone and test it using the stock messaging app. I think this will clear your problem.

Is the person in your contacts?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Yes the person I am texting is a contact. The random number i get with her reply is not a contact.

Re: S3 Text Message Issues
As long as your contacts are synced to Google try wiping cache and data for contact app. I had a goofy issue like that once and that took care of it

[Q] Can not send mms pictures

So I updated to jellybam 6.7 after having 6.5 already installed and now my mms will not send pictures. Text will send just fine. I tried to stop the program and clear data/cache, then I tried to reboot into recovery and fix permissions. Both did not work. It is on android 4.2.2 please help:crying:

I had what sounds to be the same issue when I had the original evo. No matter what rom I had flashed I could not send a picture message. I had even unrooted it and still couldn't send them. I downloaded go messenger or some other messenger and had no issue. I ended up taking it to the sprint store to get it checked. I found out something went bad and the phone could no longer send an mms with the stock messenger. They ended up replacing my phone. My suggestion is take it to a sprint store and have them check it. Your phone could be doing what my evo was doing.

It might have to do with your APN settings. You can try the FIX I posted a while ago. Here ifs the link:

Hope it works for you, it seems to be a hit or miss for some people.

thats not what im asking. the message center number for at&t is different for t-mobile so if this is for t-mobile only then it changes the message center number making it impossible to send and recieve texts on my at&t phone with out having to call in and get the right one back. if it keeps my phones sms settings and just pretty much themes it then no worries but if its built to run on t-mobile and has t-mobile defaults then it changes the number and then puts anyone not on that service out by having to re obtain the right number. sorry to get all technical but id much rather remove and install rather than to do both and then call at&t to fix it so i can send messages.

It will work with att perfectly fine. And everything works including MMS. Your needs to be rooted and you need to delete your original messaging system app before you install the new one and another cool thing about this app is that it will change with 90% of themes you put on your phone and most SMS /MMS mods won't I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this app ..

awesome, im going to insdall it and give an update aftr i mess with it a bit. thanks for the work its greatly apreciated as is all the work we have done to our phones by anyone that is capible of doing so.

definitely not working... says it cannot install

Did you delete you stock system messaging app first then install it it will work if you uninstall you stock system messaging app first I used root tool box pro it worked great
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app

if it wont install just delete the stock app copy this one after you download it and move it to system/app then reboot. i had to but after i removed the stock one i didnt reboot before i tried installing this one. but its as simple as moving it if it wont install. works fine for me and looks really good on this phone.

Does the quick reply still show up with this installed? I love that thing but I like the black window.

Yes it has a quick reply pop up option in the app settings

I can receive MMS messages fine but it FC's on me when I try and send a MMS.

+1 on that. i cant send pics or vids either. it either fc's or says it cant send. either one just leave a blank tile and says sending until i delete the whope thread. anyway you can pist the stock app so we can have full functionality back?

[Q] Unfortunately, contacts has stopped working

Hi,
I have a rooted s4 running 4.2.2. I have not frozen any thing or uninstalled since rooting. I have it for the purpose of titanium backup, greenify, and root explorer.. And to increase my knowledge of smartphone technology.
There is a problem ever since I change my number through T-Mobile the other day. I go into batch select mode for multiple email or SMS and every time I do it on my contacts screen or my message screen it freezes and brings me to my home screen with the error message "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working".
I have researched this topic and have pulled my battery out for 40minutes and turned back on. Cleared cache on messages and tried to find a work around. (Originally my problem was discovered from messages going into batch select contacts mode. So I tried to batch select contact for SMS and email through contacts option itself.. Same problem). It doesn't sound like messages is the problem..
Has anyone had this problem and if so can you share.
Thank you,

Try this:
Go into settings>more and click on "Application Manager" then scroll to the "All" tab
and find contacts and click on it and clear data & cache.
Then click the back button and you will see contact storage, clear data & cache on it too.
Once your done reboot the phone and see if it still errors out for you.
Good luck!

Still no dice..
I believe it is a problem with contacts not messaging

Got a suggestion for a ROM?
I don't play games on my phone, and there is no need to over clock as it runs like a champ. The only thing I am correctly using is apex launcher. I haven't been messing around with different ROMs because I don't know which ones to trust.
had good experiences with one??

I'd start with something touchwiz based. Like wicked v7 or infamous

There are some good ones to choose from. You just need to try them out.
I have one in Android Development...but dont wanna advertise it. Just read about each rom and flash the one thats fits your requirements.

Hey, I am in the same exact situation as you. I really don't want to flash any roms or anything like that. Rooted my phone for tethering and titanium manager...that's it...but now when I try to message multiple people via contacts I get the same error. Any progress regarding this matter would be much appreciated.
Thank you

If your running Apex launcher also try going back to touch Wiz launcher and see if that clears the issue.
